In a Rerilous Position.

General Lilley, who fought tindet
General Jubal Early on the Confed-
crate side, lost an arm at the battle
of Carter's Farm in 1862. He says
that when he was struck by the bullet
he fell among some rocks. While
lying on his back in n perfectly help
less and weak condition huge rattle
snake crawled on his breast and when
halfway across, stopped. Then his
snakeship stretched his head on n
fat stone and curIed his rattle on the
other side of the General. Several
wounded men on their way TO the
rear came along, and he did not know
what to do to attract their attention.
II he shouted it would arouse the
reptile to pernicious activity. There
he was wounded by Nothern bullet
and held n prisoner by snake. He
finally mustered sufficient strength to
raise his unwounded arm, and one of
the soldiers saw the signal. He ap4
preached, and on getting near the
PROSTATE officer, saw the horrible
situation of affairs at glance. He
walked short distance back, picked
up a sword from the side of a lieu-
tenant, and creeping up slowly be-
hind, cut the rattier in two. 81
suppose" said General Lilley, "the
rattlesuake was across my breast for
fully half an hour. was too weak
from the loss of blood to move
limb, and what breath was left in me
was kept at a very low ebb, so as
not to disturb the reptile"

was that the judge was put in prison,

Nor did the Emperor stop here in
justice; he sent for the liberated old
man, and thus addressed him:
Z" will make you governor of the
goal, believing that you, who have
suffered the barbarous cruelties of
persecution, will show humanity to
the prisoners under you. Collect
your family around you, and may
God bless You."

could thank the just, God-fearing
Emperor, the door Of the apartment

How stage Snow is Made.

have learned some curious facts respecting
stage snow as used in the Paris theaters Former
ly the head property man OF each theater caused
his subordinates to manufacture it by cutting
white paper into small bits but of late years the
paper-makers have supplied it in large Sacks cut
up fine by mechanical chopper. The snow thus
prepared is so condensed that it has to be crum-
bled between the fingers before it can be used. OF
late the theaters that Illuminated by the cleo
trio light have given up the use of paper snow, as
flame and MIGHT Catch fire. moreover nnder the
intense white heat 1T scarcely visible and pro-
duced no effect Various substitutes for paper
have been tried. WhalebOne shavings did pretty
WELL and were not expensive, costing only 90 cents
sack. But the best OF all possible limitations OF
snow LIS found to be the scraps and clippings of kid
the air, descending with very realistic slowness,
and they cling visibly to the garments OF the act
Ors These clippings are furnished to the Grand
Opera by several OF the leading glove houses OF
Paris and cost 81 q sack :.
